The record hop will be in the youthful but capable hands of special guest DJ Carrie Hope (UK). She is amongst the youngest DJs on the world Rockabilly scene and the Winter Jamboree will be her Italian debut! Hailing from the UK, Carrie is a well-known and popular DJ in Britain, and despite her tender years, has been filling dance floors for over seven years with her refined selection of 40s and 50s tracks, and has already taken part in some of the most important European and American rock’n’roll festivals. With youth, experience, and talent on her side, this whippersnapper DJ will have you dancing till dawn! She will be supported by resident DJs Madame Dynamite (UK) and Ol ’Woogies (ITA).

We are VERY lucky to be joined by world class teachers Sondre Olsen-Bye (NOR) and Tanya Georgiievska (UKR). Independently they each started dancing not long after they were walking. Sondre started dancing at the age of 5. At 8, he was winning competitions, and at 13, he was already teaching locally. He appeared on Norway’s Got Talent in 2007, and since then he has taken the Boogie-Woogie world and Lindy-hop scene by storm. Tanya started her dance training at the tender age of 4. Starting with classical dance, it wasn’t long before she discovered and competed in acrobatic rock’n’roll, boogie woogie, lindy-hop, jazz… and like Sondre, also appeared on Ukraine’s Got Talent. Already award-winning professionals in their own rights, they first partnered up at an event in France in 2015 and since then have just snowballed in popularity and demand; teaching and performing boogie woogie and lindy-hop and representing Norway together on the international boogie woogie competition scene. In the short time they have been dancing together, they have won endless competitions, world cups and in 2017 became World Champions. And they still have energy to compete, perform, teach and share the dances they love in any possible way!
